**Third, Fifth, and Sixth MLS photo's are virtually rendered showing the potential of an off white painted exterior if painted** A rare opportunity to own a piece of Winter Park history in the coveted College Quarter. Built in 1922 and recognized as a designated historic residence, 318 Vitoria Avenue is a distinctive Mission Revival home offering timeless architecture, remarkable craftsmanship, and an exceptional lifestyle near Lake Virginia, Rollins College, and Park Avenue. Set on an elevated homesite along one of Winter Park’s picturesque brick streets, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers 2,036 square feet thoughtfully oriented to embrace natural light and breezes from nearby Lake Virginia. Its Mission Revival architecture is showcased through graceful arches, classic stucco construction, barrel-tile accents, distinctive balconies, and a secluded courtyard framed by custom ironwork created by a local master craftsman. Inside, original oak and heart-pine floors preserve more than a century of character. The expansive great room serves as the heart of the home, featuring 10-foot exposed-rafter ceilings, dramatic arched windows with handblown glass, a wood-burning fireplace, and French doors that create a seamless connection to the courtyard and pool. The kitchen features an oversized butcher-block island, imported tile, oak cabinetry, a breakfast nook, and adjoining pantry and laundry areas. Uniques details continue with custom coquina flooring on the porch and intricate tilework in the Florida room, both created by a Disney Imagineer and adding an exceptional layer of artistry and one-of-a-kind craftsmanship to the home. Upstairs, three bedrooms feature original heart-pine flooring, abundant natural light, built-in storage, balconies, and select views toward Lake Virginia. An unfinished basement provides valuable additional storage—an uncommon feature in Central Florida. Thoughtful improvements complement the home’s historic character, including a roof completed in 2021, air-conditioning system installed in 2020, recently updated tankless water heater, and a 2026 electrical panel upgrade with whole-home surge protection. Outside, mature landscaping surrounds the private plunge pool and courtyard, creating an intimate setting for relaxing and entertaining. College Quarter residents enjoy exclusive access to a private neighborhood park and dock on Lake Virginia, providing a wonderful connection to kayaking, paddleboarding, boating, and Winter Park’s Chain of Lakes. Rollins College, Park Avenue, Central Park, museums, restaurants, boutiques, and many of the city’s most celebrated destinations are all close at hand. Held by the same family for 46 years, 318 Vitoria Avenue represents a rare convergence of historic architecture, bespoke craftsmanship, meaningful modern improvements, private outdoor living, lake access, and an extraordinary Winter Park location. A distinctive residence ready for its next chapter.
